CGA star student Yuhan (Linda) Tang gives you some tips on how to ace your A Level results.

Going into A Levels from International GCSE can seem like a big jump. The increase in content for each subject, and the fact that you go deeper into each concept, means there will be an increase in workload. However, A and A* grades at A Level are still very possible.

Although everyone has a slightly different way of studying, below are some tips that helped me through my eight subjects for A Levels. I hope they will give you some guidance as well. You’ve got this!

Discover our tips for acing your A Levels.

Class time is key

Definitely try and focus during class because teachers can help explain concepts better and you can ask questions when you don’t understand.

Revise later

Textbooks are more useful after class, where you can go through the knowledge covered in class and enhance your understanding.

Speak up

Always ask questions when you don’t understand - you’ve got nothing to lose by just asking.

Revise some more

Going over what you have learnt during the day each night helps to consolidate the knowledge.

Limit distractions

Try and put distractions away if you can. An app called “Forest” helps you to put your phone down (otherwise you will kill the plants that you have planted).

Go over your mistakes

Make a list of all the exam questions you get wrong, and aim to do them again before your actual exams.

Have a plan

Making a timetable of what to do each week/month can be useful for those who are good at following a long term schedule. For people who do not follow a schedule well, just give yourself a rough idea each morning of what you need to do today.

Ask for help

If you think you need extra help with subject content, or help with answering exam questions efficiently, getting a tutor can help solve the problems.

You got this!

Have a positive mindset. Believe in yourself. You can do this!
